Give a simple argument that lying, merely for convenience, fails the generalization test. Assume that the lie would achieve its purpose only if it is believed.
التوضيح
The generalization test suggests that the reasons behind every action must be consistent with the assumption that everybody having the same reason would be acting the same way. Now in the event of anyone lying, it is important to understand that he or she should lie only if it is expected to fulfil the purpose by lying in the said circumstances, and that for the lie to be trustworthy, the person lying should be trustworthy, at least to the person to whom lying has been done.
However, anybody whosoever has lied, should not lie just because it is easy to do so and would give him/her a convenience. Because this defies the actual reason with which the lie was told, that is the rational justification behind any action (here, that of lying). Thus, it is clear that, not everybody would lie, just because it can be done for convenience and thus it imposes individuality to the actions, thus causing the generalization test to fail.
